Dog the Bounty Hunter Denies Assault Allegation After Being Heckled at Denver Airport

Duane Lee “Dog” Chapman is denying allegations of assault following a verbal altercation at the Denver International Airport last week.

“There was no assault. A young man approached Dog at the Denver Airport in a very hostile and aggressive manner, clearly looking to start trouble,” the Chapman’s family attorney, Andrew Brettler, told ET on Thursday. “He insulted Dog and Beth, hurled racial slurs at Dog, and threatened to ‘cut’ Beth if she could ‘get out of her wheelchair.”

In a recently surfaced video, Duane and Beth, who was in a wheelchair, can be seen waiting for an airport elevator when they are approached by two men, who claim to be father and son. The older man can be heard screaming, “This is my son and you put your f**king hands — you put your hands on my son.”

The confrontation continued as the men hurled expletives at the couple. A female voice, which is believed to be Beth’s, can be heard telling an airport employee in the elevator, “Get security.”

A police report was later filed against the 65-year-old bounty hunter and reality TV star, but no arrests have been made in connection with the incident, People reports.

“The Chapmans called for airport security,” Brettler stated. “Eventually they were able to get in their vehicle without further incident. According to the Denver P.D., airport surveillance footage show this individual was the aggressor and that Dog did not assault him, as alleged. The Chapmans intend to press charges against this individual and his father for harassment and for disturbing the peace.”
